We recently have reported our initial studies on step-growth block copolymers containing segments of poly (aryl ethers) and poly (aryl carbonates) (9,10). The multiblock [ A-B ]n block copolymers were prepared by phosgenation in methylene chloride/pyridine solution either by what was termed an in situ or by a coupled oligomer technique (JO). The choice of polycarbonates and poly (aryl ethers) for initial studies was based on the several considerations. Copolymerization is feasible since the end groups in the two oligomers can be identical, as shown in Structures 1 and 2. Considerable information is available in the...

After a series of mechanical horror stories, attention was turned from transesterification to direct phosgenation. High molecular weight polymer was produced by passing phosgene into a stirred solution of bisphenol-A in a mixed methylene chloride/pyridine solvent. Excess pyridine and by-product pyridine hydrochloride was removed by water/acid washing. The polymer was recovered by addition of an anti-solvent such as alcohol or aliphatic hydrocarbon. This general process provided initial development quantities of polymer.

Norethindrone may be recrystakhed from ethyl acetate (111). It is soluble in acetone, chloroform, dioxane, ethanol, and pyridine slightly soluble in ether, and insoluble in water (112,113). Its crystal stmcture has been reported (114), and extensive analytical and spectral data have been compiled (115). Norethindrone acetate can be recrystakhed from methylene chloride/hexane (111). It is soluble in acetone, chloroform, dioxane, ethanol, and ether, and insoluble in water (112). Data for identification have been reported (113). The preparation of norethindrone (28) has been described (see Fig. 5). Norethindrone acetate (80) is prepared by the acylation of norethindrone. Norethindrone esters have been described ie, norethindrone, an appropriate acid, and trifiuoroacetic anhydride have been shown to provide a wide variety of norethindrone esters including the acetate (80) and enanthate (81) (116). 

Solubility and Solvent Resistance. The majority of polycarbonates are prepared in methylene chloride solution. Chloroform, i7j -l,2-dichloroethylene, yy -tetrachloroethane, and methylene chloride are the preferred solvents for polycarbonates. The polymer is soluble in chlorobenzene or o-dichlorobenzene when warm, but crystallization may occur at lower temperatures. Methylene chloride is most commonly used because of the high solubiUty of the polymer (350 g/L at 25°C), and because this solvent has low flammabiUty and toxicity. Nonhalogenated solvents include tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, pyridine, and cresols. Hydrocarbons (qv) and aUphatic alcohols, esters (see Esters, organic), or ketones (qv) do not dissolve polycarbonates. Acetone (qv) promotes rapid crystallization of the normally amorphous polymer, and causes catastrophic failure of stressed polycarbonate parts. 

Because of the cost of pyridine the phosgenation process may be carried out with a mixture of pyridine and a non-hydrohalide-accepting solvent for the polymer and the growing complexes. Suitable solvents include methylene dichloride, tetrachlorethane and chloroform. Although unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons may dissolve the solvent they are not effective solvents for the acid chloride-pyridine complexes. 

Ji-Methoxy-ll, 11-ethylenedioxy-lS-methylestra-1,3,5(lO)-tnene. A solution of (+)3-methoxy-18-methylestra-l,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (5 g) dissolved in ethylene glycol (5 ml) and ethyl orthoformate (10 ml) containing />-toluenesulfonic acid (0.3 g) is heated under reflux for 2 hr in a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting solution is diluted with methylene chloride and washed with dilute sodium bicarbonate and water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness in the presence of a trace of pyridine. Trituration of the residue with petroleum ether yields 4.7 g (82 %) of the pure ketal. 

Selective hydroxylation with osmium tetroxide (one equivalent in ether-pyridine at 0 ) converts (27) to a solid mixture of stereoisomeric diols (28a) which can be converted to the corresponding secondary monotoluene-sulfonate (28b) by treatment with /7-toluenesulfonyl chloride in methylene dichloride-pyridine and then by pinacol rearrangement in tetrahydrofuran-lithium perchlorate -calcium carbonate into the unconjugated cyclohepte-none (29) in 41-48 % over-all yield from (27). Mild acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the ketal-ketone (29) removes the ketal more drastic conditions by heating at 100° in 2 hydrochloric acid for 24 hr gives the conjugated diketone (30).

A recently discovered (2) oxidizing system promises to become very important for the oxidation of acid-sensitive compounds. The reagent is chromium trioxide-pyridine complex, which may be isolated after preparation and employed in nonaqueous solvents (usually methylene chloride). A remarkable feature of the reagent is that good yields of aldehydes are obtained by direct oxidation of primary alcohols. The preparation of the reagent and its use are given. 

A 5% solution of chromium trioxide-pyridine complex in dry methylene chloride is prepared. The alcohol (0.01 mole) is dissolved in dry methylene chloride and is added in one portion to the magnetically stirred oxidizing solution (310 ml, a 6 1 mole ratio) at room temperature. The oxidation is complete in 5-15 minutes as indicated by the precipitation of the brownish black chromium reduction products. The mixture is filtered and the solvent is removed (rotary evaporator) leaving the crude product, which may be purified by distillation or recrystallization. Examples are given in Table 1.1. 

Thienylacetarnidocephalosporanic acid (7.0 g) was suspended in water (60 ml) and stirred with pyridine (7 ml) until the acid dissolved. The resulting solution (pH 5.9) was kept at 35°C for 3 days, then filtered and extracted with methylene chloride (4 x 60 ml). The methylene chloride extract was back-axtracted with a little water and the total aqueous solutions were then percolated through a column of Dowex 1x8 resin, (100 to 200 mesh, 150 g) in the acetate form at pH 4.3. The column was washed with water until the optical rotation of the eluate fell to zero and the eluate (500 ml) was freeze-dried. The residual white solid was dissolved in the minimum volume of methanol and after a few minutes the pyridine derivative crystallized this is the cephaloridine product. 

Orthoesterification A mixture of 1 g of 6a a-difiuoroprednisolone, 10 mg of p-toluene-suifonic acid, 5 cc of dimethylformamide and 3 cc of methyl orthobutyrate is heated for 15 hours on an oil bath at 105°C while a slow stream of nitrogen is passed through the mixture so that the methanoi produced as a by-product of the reaction, is distilled off. After addition of severai drops of pyridine to neutralize the acid catalyst, the reaction mixture is evaporated under vacuum and there is obtained a solid residue which is taken up with methanol, and filtered.

Where B = pyridine, piperidine or 1-methylimidazole, in methylene chloride solution, but under normal conditions rapid irreversible autoxidation takes place 232) leading to the formation of the well characterised 247, 248) fi-oxo product, (TPP)Fe(IlI)—0—Fe(III) (TPP) and since the rate of oxidation decreases 249, 250) with increasing excess of axial base, B, it follows 232, 251) that a five co-ordinate species, Fe(II) (Base)TPP, is probably involved as an intermediate which can then undergo a bimolecular termination reaction with Fe(II) (Base)02TPP, followed by autoxidation. Firstly 251),... 

Soluble in hexane, benzene, methylene chloride, acetone, dioxane, ethyl acetate, and pyridine insoluble in water and ethanol. 

The red and orange forms of RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3 have apparently identical chemical properties the difference is presumably due to different crystalline forms, and possibly bonding in the solid. The complex is soluble in chloroform and methylene chloride (dichloromethane) to about 20 g./l. at 25°. The solubility in benzene or toluene is about 2 g./l. at 25° but is very much lower in acetic acid, acetone, and other ketones, methanol, and lower aliphatic alcohols. In paraffins and cyclohexane, the complex is virtually insoluble. Donor solvents such as pyridine, dimethyl sulfoxide, or acetonitrile dissolve the complex with reaction, initially to give complexes of the type RhCl[P(C6H6)3]2L, but further reaction with displacement of phosphine may occur.
